Is there anywhere an up-to-date changelog of the current version?

https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/Change_Log_(Piratez) has only the last one.

@LouisdeFuines: a bit offtopic but absolutely worth mentioning: on youtube you may take a look to xpiratez playthrough by the user "silencer_pl of this forum (i assume he is). May disperse some doubts of yours, it started on ver. 0.99J2 and in latest "episodes" has been updated to .J3. I was not able to notice the difficulty level, though, but as of now it's the most recent playthrough avaiable  :)

It means that item is available to buy from the black market when the technology is researched.

[ i ] means two things actually.  It can mean the item will become purchasable, but it can also mean that the item will become usable (for example, Unlocking Gauss Weapons lets you identify and use all the gauss guns).  You can tell which is which if the text says "research required (buy)" or "research required (use)".

Research it first. Then exchange it.

I think "integrated devices" could be gained by dissambling something or you later get it as component.

Integrated Devices are absurdly abundant, so you won't have trouble getting them. Primary source is looting the Academy.

I beg to disagree. For whatever reason, in my mid-game campaign I'm lacking a ton of them (or maybe it's just me and my desire to equip everybody with night-vision-capable armor suits), so I have to resort to disassembling Slave AIs into Optronic parts, and then assemble those Optronic Parts into Integrated Devices.

I needed to research the right things first (not a big problem since I'm mid-game and I covered that research already), and it takes a substantial amount of workshop time... but it gets the job done.

Doesn't this make them abundant? Actually unlimited.
In the context of early game needs, however, they're on almost all Academy personnel.
Unless for some reason you can't seem to get any Academy... condsider yourself lucky, for highly atypical playthrough!
